ChatGPT uninstalls surged by 295% after DoD deal
Many consumers ditched ChatGPT’s app after news of its DoD deal went live, while Claude’s downloads grew.
Following controversies surrounding ChatGPT, many users are ditching the AI chatbot for Claude instead. Here’s how to make the switch.
Anthropic and the Pentagon are clashing over AI use in autonomous weapons and surveillance, raising high-stakes questions about national security, corporate control, and who sets the rules for military AI.
It’s a major opportunity to grow Anthropic’s enterprise client base — and a significant threat to SaaS products currently performing those functions.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has summoned Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to the Pentagon for a tense discussion over the military’s use of Claude. Hegseth has threatened to designate Anthropic a “supply chain risk.”
The numbers suggest that Anthropic’s Super Bowl commercials, combined with Anthropic’s recent release of its new Opus 4.6 model, worked to drive attention to Claude’s app and its key differentiator from ChatGPT.
The chatbot maker has, once again, ramped up its valuation significantly.
